Extend free public education from pre-school to PhD

Q: What would you do to help colleges control the cost of tuition?

Marcia Squier: I would implement an extension of the public education system to include all ages of people, from preschool to PhD. I would encourage online curriculum and
offer free internet access to all students. If elected, I would support full federal funding of public universities. Private colleges and charter schools would not receive federal funding and would be considered as for-profit corporations and taxed
accordingly to provide additional funding for public education. I also support the elimination of all current student debt through quantitative easing.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence (Dem.): Require public private partnerships and connecting education to jobs.
Companies should be investing in the cost of education by the industry that will receive the worker. We need extended programs like Teach America where students get credit.
